Unity has some built in functionality to create AI objects for gaming. Here Brackeys has some fun playing around with all the options.
Siraj Raval has a video explaining the Unity and it’s new AI tool.
Creating 3D AI in a simulated world is actually pretty easy using Unity. It’s a powerful tool and I’ll go over its new ML Agents toolkit, that allows researchers and developers to build/train ML models in a 3D simulation. It’s pretty fun watching it in a 3D world, lets break down the code and concepts.
Recently, Andy and I had a chance to chat with Amanda Lange, technology evangelist at Microsoft, games journalist, and data aficionado.

For the next 10 weeks Siraj Raval is going to go from the basics to the state of the art of reinforcement learning (RL), a popular subfield of machine learning using video game environments as our testbed.
RL is a huge reason DeepMind and OpenAI have been so successful thus far in creating world changing AI bots.
